Anticipation

We have relocated, from the county park mentioned in our prior posting, to the Erie County Fairgrounds in Hamburg NY.  Here is another shot of where we were in Erie County

Our friendly neighborhood deer – 5 of them

 

And here is our current location

We moved on Thursday so that we could get settled early.  One of the local people suggested a few things to see and do, including a trip to a grocery store.  Wegmans is a local chain that is known to be an innovator.  Paige’s first reactions were “Oh my!” and “Oh, Wow!”  It’s hard to put into any other words, but size, selection, and staff level were all outstanding.  A shopping trip became a unique experience.

A cool and rainy weekend has been forecast, so we took advantage of Friday’s weather (cloudy and mild, with only a couple sprinkles) to ride the motorcycle: south to Jamestown, northwest to Lake Erie, northeast along the shoreline to the Dunkirk lighthouse, and back to Hamburg.  We forgot to bring either the camera or the smartphone, so we have no pictures to share, but let’s say it was very pleasant.  Lots of reminders of Fall – leaves are starting to turn colors and many pumpkins for sale along the ride.  Very pretty!

As of Saturday morning many RVs are already here, with more Nomads pulling in today and tomorrow.  The annual meeting doesn’t officially start until Monday but nearly half of the people are here.  We have found it so easy to meet and talk to many new friends and a few we have worked with in the past 19 months.  Today is a big “garage sale” next door at the county’s event center.  We also have a local farmers’ market and a yarn store to check out.
